<h2>The Boutonniere</h2>
<p>A boutonniere is the epitome of elegance in menswear or more simply spoken: the icing on the cake.

<p>Although particularly popular at weddings, the lapel buttonhole flower is perfectly suitable for daywear in summer & winter with suits, sport coats & morning dress as well as in the evening with velvet jacket, tuxedo & tailcoat.</p>
<p>Fresh boutonnieres are beautiful but wilt easily and are difficult to find. In order to change that, Fort Belvedere developed a number of boutonnieres that are finely crafted by hand to look as authentic as the original. Moreover, it will never wilt and always looks as if it was just freshly cut!</p>
<h2>White Life Size Carnation</h2>
<p>Carnations are very classic boutonniere flowers especially for black tie and white tie events, but combined with a dark suit, they look just as stunning. Likewise, a carnation makes for a great companion to an overcoat. This carnation is carefully crafted from hand dyed silk. Therefore the bottom of the petals have a hint of green, just like a real carnation. Overall, nobody will spot the difference once it is on your lapel. If this white carnation is too large for your tastes, we also offer a <a href="http://www.gentlemansgazette.com/shop/boutonnieres/white-carnation-boutonniere-silk-buttonhole-flower-fort-belvedere" target="_blank">smaller version of the same flower here</a>. </p>
